That's a good idea -- sampling from more than one place. I'll do that.

We're happy with how the pool project came out. It was long time wishing and planning. The upside is that I have no regrets, and I really like what we've got. It's been great during Florida's usual hot, humid summer. Before now, we used Intex Easy-set pools going back to the early 2000s, and they were fun, but as my kids grew, they outgrew those pools. I do regret we didn't build our inground pool five years ago -- that would have been the sweet spot where all my kids (4!) would have been 10 or less. But we couldn't swing it five years ago, so I'm content with what we've got and when we got it. I love it when the whole family is in the pool or spa together -- that's wonderful.
